I think these track nights are not so much for racing, just for fun. Also it's a good and a safe way to learn to how control your car. I've seen lot "fast" cars been overtaken by cars with less horsepower. It's all about braking, taking the apex right and just enjoying yourself. If you want to compete, hardly this is the right place for you.

No problem.. Just make sure to remove the training wheels first... Makes cornering easier..

master_mas ...I guess Rebel is correct....

Altima can go 200+ but only for a short time after which the engine would heat up. Its about horsepower combined to a light-weight car.

Also it would need a low-profile-body or the car would take-off sideways if there is a crosswind.

I have touched 177 in my Civic....but only because a hot local chick was tailgating me and flashing me to get out of her way...unfortunately the lane on the right was full and I had to race for my life....and man I thought I was going fast at 140kmph.....

....I was just chilvrous ...and gave way for the lady ;)

Brit's Kia would no doubt be a terror on the tracks...comming in the way of faster cars....lol

By anonymous• 30 Dec 2008 09:20

Yeah...When is the Track Day?

Brit I m no great driver....(this is my 2nd year of driving experience)....but me & my car both survived...

Have you ever heard of portable man packs and generators?

I think it will be a success.

By britexpat• 30 Dec 2008 08:39
britexpat

You did not mention Korean... That means my KIA will outpace that electric contraption..

By the way, there are no 110v sockets at losail, so the car is a non starter ;)

The Tesla high performance electric car

The electric-powered Tesla Roadster boasts the equivalent of 135 mpg and a range of 250 miles on a single charge, a combination heretofore unseen in a mass-produced electric vehicle. Its extended range is due to its state-of-the-art lithium-ion Energy Storage System. The Tesla Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in about four seconds.

My car will smoke anyone in 1/4 mile strip.

Including the Porsche, Lamborguini or any European/ japanese hot rod.

"master_mas" losail track is not for cars like altima..i have seen much better cars throwing smoke from the front hood just after 3 or 4 laps...hehe...last track day a chevy corvette and porsche GTS2 an Evolution had accident...it was worth watching...many ran away after few laps and a jaguar S type was on gravel and had oil leakage in gear box..that would have costed him more then he thought...i saw a brand new chrysler concord quit after 20 minutes coz the car temperature guage was on full heat...lol...once an indian came on mazda 6 and even there he was driving on 80...hahahaha...think again b4 u go there and if u drive below180 on losail track then useless to waste time and money there ...coz usually cars like porsche,evolution,bmw,corvette,skyline,VW gt etc etc never go below 200kmph..if u really don't love ur car then u are most welcome..

i don't know if my my "oldie" 850i can catch your Kia

By master_mas• 29 Dec 2008 14:53

you'r right buddy, i got the Nissan Altima and i'm lovin' it...

i just wanna test the car on that track..

or let me sayy,

i wanna test the track with my car... ;-)

i ain't no mods no shit..

,

i knew a guy who works there, can't find his number though...

..

i guess i'll just go there when i'm free & will keep u updated..

Sounds good..

I have never raced in any professional stuff.. Unluckily :(

ANyways.. Bck to work ... im out !!!!!!

In my younger days, I used to race Formula Ford and go to Drag meets.

Driving on the road and racing round the circuit are two different things. The circuit with its cambers is much more scarier.

By r7• 29 Dec 2008 12:07

I think the guy who posted this has a Nissan Altima coz he was asking hundreds of questions few weeks ago about the car...

I wouldn't mind watching him have a go at the track :P

Should b entertaining ...

For an even better experience he can race darude the guy who drives like hes in a rocket...

Im pretty sure its a class thing.. or Category wise.. for sure...

By britexpat• 29 Dec 2008 11:56
britexpat

This is why I was asking..

I didn't want my KIA to show up the Vettes...

By r7• 29 Dec 2008 11:50
r7

I think it'll b stupid to show up in a stock car n u've got all the souped up corvettes n stuff around u !!!

Unless they let u race or drive against the same class vehicles...

Brit : I hope tht ur Korean Ponies don't send me bck to the pit lane crying :(

By QaQc• 29 Dec 2008 11:39

any car will do. From stock to fully modified.

you can join the QMMF track day. You need to apply a license for Qr.300 and entry fee of Qr.200. You need helmet also.

My KIA Sorento with duct taped windows and guzzling "Super fuel can lay rubber at Losail..

By r7• 29 Dec 2008 10:49

I think it makes sense to go out there only if u drive a high end sports car like a Porsche or something not for regular sedans ... All its gonna do is tempt u to screw up ur ride which will not be able to take the speed and gear switching and stuff on the track...

By Harry99• 29 Dec 2008 10:32

Tried the website.. Not much info.

By the way, QR 200 seems rather cheap.

By hash_f430• 29 Dec 2008 08:13
hash_f430

its easy to take your car there.....just qr 200,fill one form, wear a helmet and they will inspect ur car for any oil leaks .... tow hook is also compulsory..if u got 1.

thts it..u will b given a pit, a transponder to know ur lap timings and 3 hours to dismantle ur car in the track..heh....

What car have you got??? Is it worth risking at Lusail ?

By Dracula• 29 Dec 2008 07:58
Dracula

Before Losail test, you should replace your spark plugs (you may even consider getting the highest grade possible for your vehicle).

Make certain your cooling system is working properly.

Add aftermarket speed options to your car(like extra turbo and intake materials so that your car can easily pick up speed and be race ready. ).

By master_mas• 29 Dec 2008 07:47

dudes, dudes,

i am asking...... my car still new i'll go when i cross the 5k KMs...
